Yeah I'm pissed too. I used to be stoked as **** when a new marble hornets came out, **** was the raddest thing in town and I'd go as far as to call it the thing that started my interest in horror movies and ****.

You know that slenderman didn't start on the internet right? Slendermen are german mythological creatures. there's a documentary on them, somewhere here on the internet. I'd find it for you, but I'm too lazy.

No, Slender Man did begin on the internet. He was a submission to a horror contest on somethingawfulforum in 2010. The creator took inspiration from Silent Hill and old mythology to create the character. The German myth you're talking about is the tall man, a tall skeletal being that would kidnap children, and although the creator might have taken heavy inspiration from him Slender Man is not the Tall Man.
